V. Pozsgay et al., PURIFICATION OF SUBUNIT-B OF SHIGA TOXIN USING A SYNTHETIC TRISACCHARIDE-BASED AFFINITY MATRIX, Bioconjugate chemistry, 7(1), 1996, pp. 45-55
The blood group P-1 antigenic trisaccharide (3), which is the receptor
-binding ligand of Shiga-like toxins, is synthesized in a spacer-equip
ped form (32) from 2-(trimethylsilyl)ethyl glucoside 5 and the 1-thiog
alactoside building blocks 10 and 22 in a stereocontrolled, stepwise f
ashion. Covalent attachment of 32 to hydrazine group-containing agaros
e gel by reductive amination provided the P-1 trisaccharide-containing
affinity sorbent which was used for preparative scale isolation of su
bunit B of Shiga toxin.
